Is the connector you purchased MiFI (Made for iPhone)? You may have purchased a connector which isn't capable of data transfer compatible with iPhone.
Have you connected a previous iPhone to your 2013 Audi successfully? I'm pretty sure no Audi from 2013 was Apple CarPlay ready as a Google search revealed Audi didn't introduce CarPlay until 2017. So what are you trying to accomplish by a cable connection? Did you try to connect your iPhone to the Bluetooth settings in your car?

Lightning, or the older “original” Apple 30-pin connector?
The following (discontinued) Apple adapter has a Lightning (smaller) connector, and a (larger) 30-pin socket: Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - Apple (NZ)
I’d expect Bluetooth to work with music audio, as well. Unsure why that’s not working here.
There are Bluetooth to 30-pin adapters being sold. Whether any of those will work, or will work here?
I’d check in an Audi-focused forum around that infotainment system capabilities and firmware revisions, too.
I have the original apple 30-pin connector in my Audi 2013. I googled about the connector and got a response that says the lightning to 30-pin adaptor does not work with the iPhone 16 pro. And bluetooth has never worked with the car for music, only for phone calls. Still searching for a solution!
Yes the connector is an Apple connector so I'm assuming it is MiFI since I explained to the salesperson what I needed it for. Yes my iPhone 12 was connected to my Audi. ( I do not have Carplay). It was connected via a cable to the cars audio system and was working fine. With the 16 pro, I had to get the USB-C to lightning adapter to add to the connector I already had in order to connect to the phone. So that is when I got the message that the accessory is not supported.
I can connect to the car via bluetooth for phone calls, which is working fine, but not for music.
